Coming on the heels of an upset-filled Monday, Day 2 of Wimbledon 2014 had a lot to live up to. Fortunately, the star power was out in full force to help shoulder the load, as well as some notable ranked players and top seeds falling to inferior talent on both the ladies' and gentlemen's side of the bracket.     

The surprises are what draw us into the All England Club, but there are also storylines happening every day that make this such a compelling event.
